reviewed Syntactic Change in Akkadian: The Evolution of Sentential Complementation on March 09, 2009
Syntactic Change in Akkadian
This is a very important book. Under the guise of evolutionary theory (which the author insists repeatedly is just a metaphor -- I think she's far too modest), Blevins rehabilitates the hoary tradition of historical linguistics, and makes a good case for its relevance to traditional theoretical linguistics.
